With over 15 years in the realm of psychology, Dr. Yasmine Saad, CEO and founder of Madison Park Psychological Services, has emerged, blending Eastern and Western psychological philosophies into a pioneering therapy approach. Referred to as the “Wise Psychologist,” she has crafted a unique methodology known as the Inner Message Approach™. This innovative technique has swiftly yielded profound results, significantly altering the landscape of emotional healing.
Harmonizing Western Psychology with Eastern Traditions
Beyond professional distinction, Dr. Saad’s commitment to understanding the intricate interplay between the human mind and emotions is a deeply personal calling. By marrying Western psychology with Eastern traditional medicine, she introduces a holistic paradigm, treating the body and mind as interconnected entities. This integrated approach has proven particularly efficacious in deciphering the intricate nature of anxiety, offering novel insights into a range of common emotional struggles.
Decoding Anxiety: Unveiling the Messenger Within
Dr. Saad unveils a paradigm shift in the perception of anxiety, redefining it as a premonitory signal rather than a mere affliction. She employs a decoding process that empowers individuals to comprehend their emotions and instigate lasting change. Rather than perceiving anxiety as a foe, Dr. Saad views it as a vigilant ally, attuned to self-preservation. By understanding that thoughts and emotions are messengers, not the message itself, patients can harness anxiety’s guidance to regain balance and control.
Unmasking Frustration and Unmet Desires
Expanding her revolutionary perspective, Dr. Saad sheds light on the nuanced landscape of emotions.
“Let’s say you are angry at your husband for not doing the dishes. Simply acting on your frustration by changing your external world (for instance, beating on him to get the chore done) will rob you of the opportunity to connect with something deeper about you and do the inner tweakings necessary for a better life. Frustration offers the chance to connect to your unmet desires and aligns you to who you are,” she says.
Once the core desire-triggering emotions are unearthed, the focus shifts toward self-compassion and resilience-building. This transformation instills emotional independence, reducing dependence on external influences and fostering a steadfast inner foundation.
It’s at this point Dr Saad’s three-step process comes into play: identifying the emotion, unveiling the unmet desire, and doing the inner work needed to nurture empowerment.
Step 1. Engage your compass: In this example, what is your frustration calling your attention to? Which unmet underlying desire does it identify for you? Here you have identified that you are frustrated with your husband for not doing the chores. Go deeper – why is it important for him to do the dishes? Is your frustration calling your attention to your unmet need for companionship?
Step 2. Reveal your inner blueprint: What is the promised land, and which path are you taking to get there? In this example the promised land is companionship. The way you are attempting to get there is through being upset with them. This is your obstacle. Ultimately your husband will respond better if you communicate your underlying unmet need rather than you beating up on him.
Step 3. Break the code, do the inner tweaking. Now that you have understood where you want to go (a life of companionship), and the obstacle to getting there (focusing on the surface and using anger), do the inner tweakings to believe in another path and another way of communicating your depth of desire so that you approach it from a different place.
From Personal Struggles to Professional Revelation
Dr. Saad’s profound insights are woven from personal struggles. At 16, she took her father’s apprehensions into consideration to forge a path centered on health, talent, and purpose rather than pathology. Later, a poignant miscarriage propelled her towards Eastern practices including acupuncture and Qigong. This catalyzed an exploration into traditional Chinese medicine, which seamlessly melded with her psychological practice.
A Vision for Global Impact
Dr. Saad’s influence extends beyond her practice’s walls. Her standing as one of New York City’s top psychologists is a testament to her unwavering commitment. Yet, her ambitions encompass a wider platform, envisaging the dissemination of her wisdom to millions. Her upcoming book, “Decoding Your Thoughts and Emotions,” aims to empower readers with practical tools for self-understanding and liberation from emotional constraints.
From her formative years in Paris to her celebrated career in New York, Dr. Yasmine Saad has cultivated a legacy of transformation. Her unique fusion of psychological and holistic principles has engendered a thriving practice and empowered countless individuals to decode their emotions. Her insights forge a path to equilibrium, self-support, and resilience. Her expertise has garnered international recognition, earning her a place on prestigious stages alongside eminent leaders.
In the tapestry of psychology, Dr. Yasmine Saad’s Inner Message Approach™ stands as a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to profound self-discovery and emotional well-being.
